next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm trying to forward all packets from a privately addressed machine (172.17.1.5) to a gateway via a FreeBSD box running ipfw. Here's the ipfw directive: fwd 192.168.215.15 log logamount 10000 ip from 172.17.1.5 to any Now when I ping public address a.b.c.d from 172.17.1.5, I get a "Destination Host Unreachable." When I try to ping this same address from the FreeBSD box, I get a "No route to host" message. Adding a static route, however, solves the problem: route add -net a.b.c.d 192.169.215.15 ...so now I can ping from both 172.17.1.5 and my FreeBSD firewall! Of course, having to add routes, sort of defeats the ipfw fwd command, doesn't it? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
